Rachel S. Mulligan is a neurologist based at 145 Studley Road, Heidelberg, VIC 3084, Australia. She looks after people who live with ongoing issues that affect the brain, memory, and movement. Neurology can feel overwhelming, especially when symptoms change over time, so the aim is to keep things clear and practical from the start.
Rachel works with patients dealing with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In many cases, the biggest day-to-day concerns are memory changes, trouble thinking clearly, mood or behaviour shifts, and getting through everyday tasks. She also cares for people with frontotemporal dementia, where personality and language can be affected in different ways.
There are also movement-related problems that Rachel sees regularly. This can include Parkinson’s disease and a range of other movement disorders. At times, people come in because they’ve noticed stiffness, slower movement, shakiness, balance issues, or changes in how their body responds to everyday actions. Rachel focuses on understanding what’s happening and making sure the treatment plan fits real life, not just the scan or the lab results.
Her practice also includes people with rarer neurological conditions, such as progressive supranuclear palsy (including atypical forms), corticobasal degeneration, and traumatic brain injury. With these conditions, symptoms can build up gradually. That means follow-up matters, and it helps to have a steady clinician who can explain options in plain language and keep an eye on how things are progressing.
Depending on the situation, Rachel may also look into eye and movement coordination problems linked to the nervous system, such as Brown syndrome. Neurology doesn’t always look the way people expect, and sometimes the symptoms show up in unusual ways, like changes in vision and head posture. Getting the right assessment helps people feel less in the dark.
Rachel’s approach is calm and grounded. She takes time to talk through concerns, sort out what could be causing symptoms, and discuss next steps. If you’re dealing with a condition that affects memory or movement, you often need more than quick answers. Over time, having a clear plan and consistent care can make a real difference.
